My Super C5 Vette'
1997 Corvette. Short list is what is not custom made. I still have a lot of plumbing and wiring to do bottom side. Took it off the jack stands for a couple days to get some inspiration of what a bad ride this is going to be. Before it is assumed a ton of cash is involved, all design, machining, welding, polishing and anodizing were done by myself. Every part I bought I had to save up for. About 8 years into it. Maybe about one more. Give them all some time to get those trophy's ready.....

Simply amazing work...Kudos to your for the patience, determination, and talent to get this far. I really love the integration of the exhaust through the rocker panels, not that the rest isn't equally cool.

4L60E has the very best of everything. Yank 3600 convertor. Rear has the 300m shafts (both) and 4-10 gears. Carbon fiber driveshaft, Solid couplers. Those Michelins are $560 something a piece and I have no intention of grinding them to nothing. Could not afford another set nowadays. But then, might be way too much fun.
